论文摘要
芬兰被认为是一个在性别平等方面具有良好往绩的国家。尽管统计数据支持芬兰在工作场所平等方面的表现良好，但仍有许多改进领域。本文重点介绍了一些女性在获得软件工程角色方面遇到的问题。我们报告了来自252位受访者的调查数据的初步分析。这些主要是女性通过加入Mimmit Koodaa倡议来表现出对担任编程角色的兴趣，该计划旨在提高软件行业的平等和多样性。该调查试图了解哪些早期经历可能会影响以后的职业选择以及从事与技术相关的职业所需的功效和信心感。这些最初的发现表明，妇女对自我效能感和对软件工程的态度的感觉是由早期体验塑造的。尽管对该领域产生了兴趣，但更多的负面体验会降低未来在软件工程角色工作的可能性。
Finland is considered a country with a good track record in gender equality. Whilst statistics support the notion that Finland is performing well compared to many other countries in terms of workplace equality, there are still many areas for improvement. This paper focuses on the problems that some women face in obtaining software engineering roles. We report a preliminary analysis of survey data from 252 respondents. These are mainly women who have shown an interest in gaining programming roles by joining the Mimmit koodaa initiative, which aims to increase equality and diversity within the software industry. The survey sought to understand what early experiences may influence later career choices and feelings of efficacy and confidence needed to pursue technology-related careers. These initial findings reveal that women's feelings of computing self-efficacy and attitudes towards software engineering are shaped by early experiences. More negative experiences decrease the likelihood of working in software engineering roles in the future, despite expressing an interest in the field.
